Famous quotes containing the words eagle and/or lake:

    The Eagle has landed.
    Neil Armstrong (b. 1930)

    The best quality tea must have creases like the leathern boot of Tartar horsemen, curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and be wet and soft like a fine earth newly swept by rain.
    Lu Yu (d. 804)
